When They'll Care

Big climate meeting up in Canda this week, are we talking about it? No. Why? Folks don't care about "climate change"... yet.

When will they? Well if the following from "Danger Zones: Ten trouble spots you aren't already worried about" in November's WIRED is on target then it could be soon:

Rupture In The Alaska Oil Pipeline
The Alaska pipeline was built to withstand everything its designers could think of. But the supports for the pipeline are anchored in permafrost, which is now melting. Up to a third of the uprights are out of alignment, and more will be at risk if the thaw continues. A pipeline break would jeopardize 1 billion barrels of oil per day - 17 percent of the nation's capacity.

But why talk about this? It's silly to think that we mere humans could have any impact on the planet... right?
